All language subtitles for Parenthood s02e11 Damage Control.eng

Alex is the volunteer
coordinator here.

Oh, hi.

I'm an alcoholic.

I've been in recovery
for five months.

And I'm telling you this
because relationships,

romantic relationships,
just aren't good for me right now.

Okay, Drew, pay attention here.

This is, like, a very
important man lesson, see?

It's psychologically purging.

You got the old,
miserable disgusting oil...

Yeah, I can tell.

It's kinda like popping
a pimple or something.

Ugh, man, you gotta
get outta my head.

What is going on down there?

- Hey!
- Nothing.

We're changing the
oil in the beast.

Well, I don't know
how that's gonna look

in a note to your teacher.

"Drew was changing the oil

in a 60-year-old tractor
that barely runs."

Yeah, she'll get going though.

You're a mess.
Go change your shirt.

You look like you
work at a gas station.

Oh, man.

I can't believe I
forgot about school.

I think... Are they starting earlier?

No, dad, same old regular time.

Oh.

So, um, was he talking to you?

Oh, yeah.

You know, I had to
tell him to shut up.

Thanks for spending
time with him.

I love him.

He's my grandson, you know?

I love you,

and the tractor, and I love him.

Who comes first?

- Tractor.
- Oh, I knew it.

I'm going to school.
I'll be home by 10:30.

Whoa, Nelly,
10:30 on a weeknight?

- Okay, I'll come home at 10:00.
- Where are you going tonight?

To a friend's house. God!

Whose house are you going to?

Jenna's.

- I don't know...
- Yes, you do, mom.

- Okay.
- Okay, fine?

Can I go?

Fine. Call me.

Great, thanks. See you.

- I love you.
- Bye.

She's lying.

- Haddie's lying?
- You think?

Yep, I think she's lying.

I think she's going
to see that boy Alex.

Wait a minute,
we don't know that she's lying.

You know, she needs a
consequence because she lied.

Okay, if she's lying,
she needs a consequence,

or she's just gonna keep lying.

I would.

How's that oatmeal?

- Tastes kind of mushy.
- Mmm.

Did you know that oatmeal
is what they call porridge

in fairy tales?

Oh, my...
What?

No.

Oh, no.

Oh, boy.

Oh, babe, don't touch it. Oh!

What? What? I got it.

Is it hurt?

I think it's stunned.

Well, will it be okay?

Yeah, sweetie, it'll be fine.

Hey, you know,
if you go find a shoe box,

I'll make a bird hospital.

It'll be fine, right?

We'll see.

Oh, babe, don't
take it in the house.

- What?
- No, it's not hygienic.

- It's not hygienic?
- No, it's not.

It's not sterile.

Hi, my name is Alex,
and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Alex.

They say you have
to hit rock bottom

before you can humble yourself
and give up your dependence.

They also say if you
give up that dependence,

you start to feel life again.

And I'm here to tell
you that it is true,

that piece by piece, step by step

you start to feel
your life coming back.

Now, I made a friend.

And she really showed me that
I had something to offer.

You know, she showed me my worth.

I never thought I
would meet somebody

that was so kind and unselfish,

so caring.

So I want to thank her.

I want to thank my sponsor.

I want to thank all of you

for reminding me what
I'm fighting for.

So thank you.

Thanks for coming with me.

You didn't have to.

I mean, thank you
for letting me come.

Your friend who you
were talking about,

it's me, right?

Of course it is.

Hey, Jabbar,
what happened in your room?

Did something explode in there?

- Um, no.
- No?

Did you see his room when you
were getting him dressed?

Clothes, toys, crayons everywhere.

It was a mess.

I didn't notice.

Jabbar, you've got to be more
responsible with your things.

Put them away when
you're done using them.

But I wasn't done using them.

If you're going to bed,
you're done using them.

I need you to get up right now,

go in there,
and clean up your room.

Get some done before school.
Let's go.

I guess your mom wants you
to do it, you better go.

"I guess your mom wants you to"?

What's that?
You should want him to too.

And, by the way,
a shrug doesn't constitute

having my back on this.

I don't think I shrugged,
but I don't...

No, you totally shrugged.

Okay, well, I'm sorry if I
don't think it's important

for a little kid to clean his room.

I mean, he's a little kid.

It's just gonna get messy again.

All right.

He has to learn responsibility,

and that's our job as
parents to teach him that.

- Okay.
- Okay?

We need to be on the same page.

We have to discipline him.

I need you to back me up on that.

- Okay.
- Okay?

We're a team.

You know, this is good,

but judge gainer's a hard ass.

I need you to find evidence

that they were actively
involved in the infringement.

Knock, knock. Hey, sorry.

Hi, what are you doing...
Why are you here?

Sorry.

Okay, anyway, you got that, right?

- You're all over it?
- I'm on it.

Okay, yeah, you should
take lunch anyway.

Why are you here?

"Hi, Sarah. Great to see you.

Are those cupcakes?
What an unexpected treat."

All of the above.

And why are you here?

Well, because I have
some exciting news,

and I brought us some lunch.
Okay, let's hear it.

I made a new year's resolution,

- one I can really keep.
- Cool.

I've decided I am never
going to date anyone

ever again.

- Good.
- Right?

Because I want to
have fun this year.

And my relationships are not fun.

Ergo, to wit, don't have any.

I'm using a little legal
jargon there for your comfort.

I noticed that.

I'm gonna do fun things.

I'm gonna go to museums

and, you know, read more.

I'm gonna have a girls'
night out with my sister.

When's the last time we
had a girls' night out?

I don't actually know
that we've ever had

a girls' night out.

Come on, wouldn't it be fun?

You're asking me
to hang out with you,

- is that what's happening?
- Yes.

Do you want to party
like it's 1999 or what?

Okay.

It's kinda my 13-year-old
fantasy coming true actually.

It is? Did you
think I was so cool?

- Yeah.
- Aww.

We get to hang out?
My cool older sister?

Well, now I think you're cool,

and I really need you as a friend.

- So what do you say?
- Okay.

Good. We're gonna have fun.

Yo, Holt, catch!

What up? Nice catch.

What's up?
How was your baseball camp?

- Oh, dude, it was awesome.
- That's good.

- Hey, guys.
- What's up, man?

And it got me away from
those crazy relatives,

which I could not be happier about.

Yeah.

So what did you end up doing?

I actually spent
time with relatives.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

No, it's fine.
My grandfather's cool.

He let me drink beer and stuff,

and we just hung out.

Wait, shh, wait.

Your grandpa let you drink?

Oh, yeah, totally.

He always has, like,
a case of beer in his fridge

in the garage,
and we go back there.

And he just let you...

You guys just drink
casually together?

- Yeah.
- That's awesome, dude.

It's so rad.

His grandpa's got a
bar in the garage.

I think that that sounds
like a field trip.

Yeah, it does.

Would that be cool,

if we came over after school

and got some brewskis?

Yeah, totally.

Rock on, man.

- Hell, yeah.
- Par-tay, yes!

- Dude, awesome.
- Yeah.

This is gonna help you,
little guy.

Well, crap.

Oh, that's dead.

Oh, man.

How's Amelia?

Oh, uh...

She... she's great.

She just, uh...

Drank some water,
and now she's, um, sleeping.

Shh, we should be quiet then.

Come on up into my room and play.

Okay, good idea.

There you go.

You know, you'd never know it

'cause she's always wearing
that green dress thing,

but miss Watson is super hot.

Miss Watson?

Yeah, I saw her last summer

playing volleyball in booty shorts.

She pulls it off.

Nah, I'm all about miss Gonzales.

- Oh, that's true.
- Muy bonita.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They should not let
28-year-olds teach Spanish

to high school dudes.

Every time she rolls that
"r" I can't concentrate.

I just want to get, like,
right under that tongue and...

Oh, God.

I wouldn't really mind
being in one of those

teacher/student sex
scandal things with her.

- Hello.
- Amen.

Yo quiero sexo
with miss Gonzales.

Is that even Spanish?

You're foolin', dude.

How would you conjugate

"let me see you naked" in Spanish?

- I don't think that's...
- I failed.

Gonna let you all know.

Yeah, I think that would be,

"dejeme por favor verle desnudo."

Hola, amigos.

Hola.

Hey.

So guess what,
the bar is now closed.

I didn't see any
cars in the driveway.

So you guys should be
walking home, correct?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

- Andale.
- Okay.

I'll see you at school,
in Spanish.

Sorry.

Hey, gringo,
you got my beer there.

Sorry, sir. Later.

Grandpa, I'll pay you
back for these if you want.

Grandson, when I gave you
that beer at Thanksgiving,

this isn't what I had in mind.

I know. I totally know that.

Drew, you look at me.

You are such a good kid.

You don't need to impress anybody.

You hear me?

All right.

And I don't want
this to happen again.

- All right?
- Okay.

The thing is you never know

what's gonna be in these boxes.

Why? What do you mean?

Excuse me.

People will donate anything.

We gotta go through these
boxes and figure out

if people will actually
wear these clothes.

Why, what's, like,
the weirdest thing

that you've found?

You know, this rates

up in the top five at least.

- This is hot, right?
- That's disgusting.

That's disgusting.
This shouldn't be in here.

What's this?
This is not clothing.

This is so weird.

This shirt is horrible.

Like, my grandfather would not even...
This stuff is horrible.

Hey, dad.

- Hey.
- What are you doing here?

Well, I was in the area,
and I wanted to stop by

and see where you've been
spending so much time.

Right.

Alex.

Adam Braverman.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Braverman.

Pleased to meet you.

Oh, you can just call him "Adam."

You have a great girl.

She's been a huge help
to me around here.

Well, thank you very much.

She's a good kid.

Okay, I was gonna
take the bus home,

but since you're here,
why don't we just go now?

- Okay.
- I'll see you.

Nice to meet you, Alex.

Nice to meet you too.

- See ya.
- Bye.

- Dad.
- Say, Alex?

I was wondering if you'd
like to come over some night

for dinner.

Dad, he's really busy here.

Once second.

You know, I'd actually love that.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, a lot.

- How's Wednesday?
- Wednesday works.

Great. We'll see you then.

See you then.

See you then.

Come on, honey.

Hey, Haddie, I'm gonna
go to the market today.

What do you think your
friend would like for dinner?

Hey, it's your thing.
You should really go wild.

Well, we don't want to,
you know, double up

on anything you guys
make at the soup kitchen.

- Like soup.
- No soup.

Mom, are you gonna
make something weird?

Because usually when
guests come over,

you make weird stuff.

I don't cook weird stuff.

Who's the guest?

We're gonna make something nice.

- It's nobody.
- Who's the guest?

Just somebody that I work with
that dad wanted to come over.

Is it the boy from the food
bank that you lied about?

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- No hitting!

That was uncalled for, okay?

You don't have to shove
your brother's head.

- Exactly.
- We were playing.

- How about Rosemary chicken?
- Fine.

Things look sad
when they're dead.

Great observation, honey.

Mortality makes you snippy.

I just feel uncomfortable
lying to Syd.

Well, all right, we'll tell her.

- Yeah?
- We'll tell her, yeah.

- Good.
- What should we say?

I was thinking something
along the lines of,

"the bird is dead." You like that?

Well, that's a little harsh.

What else can we say?

I mean, it's nature, it is harsh.

Well, does she need to know
at age six that nature's harsh?

If Syd lived on a farm,

she'd have seen death
100 times by now.

Let's move to a farm.

She's so innocent and happy,

and she doesn't understand.

It's just, who wants to bring

that little surprise to the party?

Well, if we bring up heaven,

it'll be a lot less scary.

No.

I mean, I know you and I are
probably not going, but...

Funny.

What exactly are you gonna
tell her about heaven?

Normal stuff.

You mean the made-up stuff?

Yeah, the made-up stuff.

I don't want to lie to her.

You don't know that it's lying.

You don't know.

Exactly, you don't know.

That's the point.
That's what faith is.

You don't know.

Is Amelia awake yet?

Hi, sweetie!

No, she's still asleep.

- Yep.
- She's sleeping a lot.

Yeah, mm-hmm.

You know, birds when
they're recovering

from a concussion,

which is what Amelia
is recovering from,

they do tend to sleep a lot.

Tons.

I mean, a day or two days.

Even three,
not uncommon for a bird.

Yeah, because glass is so hard,

and their brains are so very,
very soft.

Okay, but I can't
wait till she wakes up.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, me... me too.

Get outta here, guys.

Okay, time for school.

- Bye, daddy.
- Good-bye, turnip.

- Love you.
- Love you.

Have a good one.

Uh-huh.

- This can't go on.
- I know.

Hey, your mom's
gonna be home soon.

You want to clean up
your room a little bit?

After I'm done playing.

Excuse me?

After I'm done playing.

Oh, yeah, when's that gonna be,

when you're 11 and
start liking girls?

What?

All right, listen,

let's have a little talk.

A little man talk.

All right, okay.

Now I don't want to do
that generic dad thing

and bark orders at
you or bribe you.

I want to talk to you like a man.

You're a mature young man.

I think we can talk
about this logically.

- Can we have a man talk?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

You don't like cleaning
your room, I get it.

I don't like cleaning
my room either.

But it's important...
Hey, look at me.

It's important to your mom, okay?

So that means we gotta do it.

'Cause our job as guys,

we gotta make our ladies happy.

- All right?
- Okay.

- Does that make sense?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, good.

So you'll clean up your room?

- Yep.
- Okay.

All right, you know what,

I'll even help you this one time.

But then you gotta do
it yourself after that.

It'll be our secret.

Secret on three?

One, two, three.

Secret!

All right, great.

See? That's how you communicate.

You make a plan and
you get it done.

Just two guys teaming
up on a hard job.

Work just blows right by.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, hey, I heard you had
some of the guys over.

- Grandpa told me.
- Yeah.

What are you guys doing,
making trouble?

Look, mom, it wasn't
that big of a deal, okay?

- We just...
- What?

We had a few beers.

No one was drunk or anything.

- What?
- Nothing.

- No, um...
- Look, mom, I had the guys...

- who gave you beer?
- Nobody.

I knew that it was
in grandpa's barn,

so I invited them over,

and we had a few beers.

I mean, me and grandpa had
a beer on Thanksgiving.

And I told them about it,

and they kind of invited
themselves over.

And, I don't know,
they were just using me obviously.

So grandpa gave you a
beer on Thanksgiving?

Uh, yeah.

Okay, well, you're not
to have them over again.

Look, mom, can we
talk about this later?

Sorry.

- Hey, dad.
- Yeah?

Did you give Drew a
beer at Thanksgiving?

Yeah.

Yeah, and I gave one
to Adam and Crosby

at about the same age. Why?

I really wish you
hadn't done that.

And I hope you won't do that again.

Well, sweetheart, I don't know.

I think it's a good idea to
teach guys how to handle alcohol

before they go out there and
make idiots out of themselves.

Maybe that was okay
for Adam and Crosby,

but they didn't have a
father who was an alcoholic.

Well...

I don't know if Seth
was an alcoholic.

I know that he was a
self-indulgent bum

that couldn't get a job.

Seth is an alcoholic.

Seth is a drug addict.

And you should have told me

you found those guys
in there drinking.

Okay, now wait a minute here.

I shut it down, honey.

I handled it.

So I really don't see
what the problem is here.

The problem is I chose an addict

to be the father of my children,

and I worry every day that
they have that in them too.

So please...

Let me handle this, okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

- Just let me answer the door.
- We'll get the door.

We got it, we got it.

Hi, Alex.

- Hey, how you guys doing?
- How are you?

Thanks for having me.

- Hi, I'm Kristina.
- Hello, pleasure.

- Nice to meet you.
- Smells great in here.

- I cooked all day.
- Thank you.

You didn't have to bring flowers.

Well, they're not
actually for you.

- They're for your mom.
- Oh.

You're kidding.

That is so sweet of you. Thank you.

Is this Haddie's boyfriend?

Uh, this is my brother Max.

Hey, what's going on?

I heard a lot about you,
little man.

You're black.

Sorry, I'm sure Haddie
told you about Max.

Max, that is not polite.

No, it's quite all right.
You're absolutely right.

I am black. Technically
a little brown.

You know, my Uncle Crosby's
marrying a black woman,

and they have a son
who's half-black.

And if you and Haddie had a kid,

he'd look just like Jabbar.

Oh, we're gonna go
and check the chicken.

Jabbar would have a twin.

Wouldn't that be so awesome, guys?

That's probably not
gonna happen tonight.

Yeah, probably not.

So the cool thing about
the Hercules beetle

is that it's sexually dimorphic.

Hmm, I knew there
was something special

about that beetle.

Now the female Hercules beetle

does not have horns.

It's larger-bodied but
shorter than the male.

Yeah, I have a book in my room
that shows you the difference.

Well, that's cool.
I want to see it.

You know, I like bugs too.

I had to live with them
sometimes growing up.

Why?

Because bugs tend to
live in old buildings,

buildings that haven't
really been taken care of.

Oh, you're poor.

Max. I'm so sorry.

It's... it's all right.

I prefer honesty in people.

So Alex, how did you get
involved with the food bank?

Um, that's a funny story.

I... I used to eat there.

Really?

Yeah, that place saved my life.

Wow.

That's something.

Yeah, my mom passed
away a few years ago,

and it was...

Sorry to hear that.

Really sorry. I didn't know that.

Thanks, no, it's okay.
I'm all right.

It was a while ago.

But my dad,

he never really recovered.

He was in a bad place.

Had some... some demons

he couldn't get rid of.

He wouldn't get help.

So I ate quite a few meals there.

Wow.

Must have been a difficult time.

I mean, it was.

But you can't make people's
choices for them, right?

So when I was 16,

I emancipated myself.

Mm-hmm, which was really brave.

So you've been
living like an adult

since you were Haddie's age?

- 16?
- Mm-hmm.

- Wow.
- Very impressive.

Thank you, thank you.

I mean, to be completely honest,

I had no idea what I was
getting myself into.

- Yeah.
- But I'm in a good place now.

I'm getting my credits
together to finish high school,

managing the food bank.

What I really want to
do is have a career

in social services.

Or politics, remember?

Or politics.

But I really want to give
back to the system first.

I know, but I mean,
we talked about

- you would do well.
- I guess.

Want to go to college?

- College?
- Yep.

I'd like that.

I'd have to figure
some things out first.

But right now I really
want to get through a year

on the program.

What program?

I'm in a.A.

What does that mean?

I've heard it before.

It's alcoholics anonymous.

So you're an alcoholic?

Well, not anymore.

Well, you're always an alcoholic.

Just I've been sober
for six months.

Good for you.

Yeah, this is really boring.

My bug book would be so much
more interesting than this.

I'm gonna go get it.

All right.

I just got my six-month chip.

Haddie went with me.

She did? Congratulations.

That's great.

You should be really
proud of yourself.

- That's tough to do.
- Good for you.

Um...

I'm solid.

I want you guys to know that.

I get that you guys are parents,

and I understand how crazy
all this must sound,

but you go down the road you
go down when you're younger.

You learn what you
learn from watching,

imitating what you see,
what's right in front of you.

But when you grow up,

you get to make your own choices,

choices that are gonna
define who you are,

your morals,
what you will stand for,

or what you'll fall for,

who you want to be.

Well, I want to be completely
honest with you guys.

So thank you for letting me be.

Thank you.

Thank you for being so honest.

All right, honey.

Hmm?

I was very impressed with him.

Mm-hmm.

Just the way he handles himself

is incredibly mature and decent.

Yeah.

I agree.

He's been through a lot.

Yeah, it's amazing
how grounded he is.

He's a great guy,
and he's charming.

He's sweet.

He's very nice to Haddie.

He's a hard worker.

He's obviously a smart kid.

He's very smart.

He's gracious.

I mean, he lives by himself.

He lives like an adult.

He has his own place.

He didn't finish
high school either.

Well, he's working on that,

and, look, I give him a
lot of credit for that

and for getting sober.
Yeah, I do too.

But all of that,
it's just, it's too much

to put on the plate of
our 16-year-old daughter.

I completely agree.

If she were 21 years old,
different story.

- Totally different.
- Completely different.

But she's not 21. She's 16.

And...

That's way too young.

We have to tell her tomorrow.

It's better to end it now

than to let it continue
and get serious.

It's the right thing to do.

Definitely.

She's gonna hate us.

She died?

When?

Uh, just, like, an hour ago.

Yeah.

Maybe if we put water on her,
she might wake up.

Actually, sweetie, no, that's...

When you die, that's it.

Forever?

Yeah.

Well, that's sad.

It is... it is sad, bug.

It is sad.

So everything dies?

Yeah, pretty much, hon.

But, you know, um,

that's kinda the
beauty of the world.

You know, it's not permanent.

Are you and daddy gonna die?

Am I gonna die?

Not for a really,
really long time.

Yeah.

Like 100 years.

I don't want you to die.
I would miss you.

Well, you don't have to,

because we'll see
each other in heaven.

Heaven is a beautiful place,

and that's where you
go when you die.

It's peaceful there.

And it's happy.

And everyone that you love,

everyone that you miss

is there waiting for you.

You know, I don't know
if you remember this,

but when you were really little

daddy's mom died.

And she's there.

And you get to see her when you go

in 100 years.

Okay, that sounds good.

Will Amelia be there?

Yep.

Absolutely.

She's probably there
already with your grandma.

Okay.

You just like her because
she has big, blue eyes.

Hey, you guys.

She likes you. It's so obvious.

I could hook something up for
you if you're interested.

I would have to know for certain

that she felt the same way.
She does.

You guys, I don't know how to...

I don't know when the right time is

to bring this up exactly,

but I've been wanting
to talk to you.

She's really cute but just
make sure you're not settling.

Hey! Hey, guys.

I want to talk to you
about drugs and alcohol.

Yeah, okay, sorry,
it's a little late.

I know, you know everything.

I know how smart you are, okay?

- She's on both right now.
- I just want to say...

You know, 'cause Drew, when the...

the thing with the beer and stuff.

What thing with the beer?

Are you drinking beer?

Why didn't you invite me?

You coulda sent me a text message.

Listen, you guys, please.

What?

Your father had
problems in this area.

A lot.

And, you know, that can be

a hereditary kind of problem.

You have to be more
careful than other kids.

- You know that, Drew?
- Yeah.

- Do you understand?
- Yeah.

Do you hear me?

Yeah, I think I hear you.

You have to be careful.

I'll be careful.

Jabbar, I'm really proud of you.

Your room looks beautiful.

Daddy cleaned my room.

He said it was our secret.

Oh, he did,
huh? You cleaned his room?

Uh, no, that's not...
I just helped.

No, you did the whole thing.

Well, it was a team effort

that I might have done most of.

Finish up with this, okay?

Okay.

That is totally not cool.

It's not cool!

I did not mean to do it.
It just happened, okay?

It was the easiest thing
to do in the moment.

Easy is not good parenting,
and easy is lazy.

And you're teaching him bad habits.

Oh, I'm a lazy bad parent
because I don't think

that a dirty room for a
six-year-old is a big deal?

I think it's stupid.

This has nothing to do with
a clean room or even him.

It's you.

You won't discipline.

You always want to be
liked and be the good guy

and leaving me with the dirty work.

That's not fair.

You're not his friend.
You're his father.

Even, like,
a restaurant that has a bar.

- We don't have to...
- Yeah, that's number two.

Or we could go to a club
and dance or something.

We'll find someplace to go,
and we'll have a lot of fun.

And guess what,
wherever we are going

I will be drinking some more.

Mmm.

Because I'm not pregnant.

Okay.

Yep, actually I've been
trying for four months.

Oh.

This is gonna be better, right?

- Very nice.
- Thank you.

I don't know,
the real kind of bummer

is that I keep thinking
that I am pregnant,

and then I start to
get all sentimental

and I think that there's actually...

There's a baby inside of me,

and it kind of breaks my
heart every time there's not.

So anyway...

When did it get so
hard to get pregnant?

I wasn't really
intending it either time,

so...

Right.

See, that's all I need to do,

not want to get pregnant.

Dad gave Drew a
beer the other day,

and I realized I have
to tell them what...

The real story is.

That their father could be missing

for days at a time,

and he wasn't on tour
like I said, you know?

I just don't know when to tell them

how bad it actually was.

Don't want them to be afraid,
you know?

Yeah.

How much truth is too much truth?

Yes, or enough, but not too much.

You know, this whole thing,
again, with Sydney

and the afterlife and
the death and the bird.

The bird?

Why did that dumb
bird have to die?

I mean, couldn't it
have just healed itself?

Would that have killed it?

Birds are so self-centered.

Yes.

And then poor Joel
has to deal with me

being so controlling,
which I hate about myself.

But, I mean, what are you gonna do?

You should get those
control issues under control.

Thanks.

You should really
control those better.

Uh-oh.

It's okay to come in?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Hi, pops.

Well, now that's interesting.

See, I keep walking into
different rooms in my house

and finding people drinking.

Should I be taking it personally?

Is it a bad time?

Come in, dad, and have a drink.

Right, okay.

I will get you a drink,
that's what I will do.

Are we okay?

So...

How much do you want?

- That's good.
- Ooh-ooh-ooh.

Okay, may I say something?

Please.

You two ladies have
done an incredible job

being parents.

And I am so proud to have you two

beautiful girls.

Thanks, dad.

Dad.

We're supposed to
be partying right now,

not crying, jeez.
It's girls' night, dad.

We're supposed to be thinking
about boys and lipstick.

I think I should go with you.

- I do too.
- You're all gussied up.

Let's go dancing.
We'll take dad dancing.

Yeah.

Your mother and I had
a long talk last night.

And we have decided that

it's best if you don't
see Alex anymore.

Uh, is this because he's black?

Haddie, come on,
your mother and I are not racists.

Not at all, honey.

Then I...
Why?

'Cause he was sitting
here and you liked him.

I saw you liked him.
He's a wonderful person,

- but it's just...
- Right, so what's the problem?

We feel that he's
too old for you.

He's just... he's too grown-up.

You know, he has no parents in his life.
What does that mean? So?

He doesn't even have
a high school diploma.

I give him a lot of credit
for working on it right now.

The a.A. Thing, it's scary.

This is too adult a
relationship for you.

You shouldn't be
attending a.A. Meetings.

What do you think
is gonna happen?

I'm not comfortable with
him having his own apartment.

Why does it matter what
you're comfortable with?

I feel comfortable,
and I feel happy.

- We're your parents.
- No! I don't care!

Why do you guys get to tell me...

- We know what we're doing.
- Haddie, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. This
conversation is over.

We have made our minds up.
Please, please, please.

You are not to see Alex anymore.

We're sorry.

Great.

Pathetic.

We didn't party like it was 1999.

We didn't even party
like it was 1998.

Phew, good morning!

Hey!

How was girls' night out?

- Pathetic.
- We didn't make it out.

We didn't make it
out of the house, dad.

Oh.

How come you're not hung over?

Oh, come on,
that was girly drinking.

Amateur hour.

Okay.

Oh, this is hazelnut.

Man, gah!

I hate hazelnut.

He's right, we're
flavored-coffee-brewing losers.

Okay, I'm gonna go home

so my husband can make fun of me.

Okay, but we're gonna do
this again next week, right?

- Yeah.
- It's girls' night.

This is the year of fun.

It's the year of fun, right?

Whoo!

Hey!

Head 'em up, move 'em out.

Where are we going?

I don't know, getting some air.

We'll go take a hike.
Whatever we wanna do.

I know we're gonna
get in that truck.

I know, we'll go have some coffee,

because men drink coffee.

You understand that?

Yeah, I guess. That makes sense.

I mean, not all male
bonding is done over beer.

A lot of it is.

I mean, probably
way too much of it.

Yeah, but here's the
important thing.

Men don't squeal on one another.

All right?

Even under torture.

What are you talking about?

You're like a
little chatty Kathy.

Here, hop in.

I'll explain it to you.

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

Oh, honey.

I wish my mom was here to see
how great she's turning out.

Oh.

Yeah, I know.

And I...

I like thinking
about her in heaven,

with that stupid bird.

I kinda hate you for that.

Oh, I love you.

Come here.

Holy mackerel,
you're sweating alcohol.

Mm-hmm.

How much did you
guys drink last night?

A lot.

Yeah. You look good.

- Oh.
- You look really good.

Jabbar, I just got
a call from a walrus

who wants to know when we're
gonna be getting to the zoo.

Oh, my...

Buddy, what happened in here?

It was just clean.

You could clean my room again.

It can be our secret.

No, no, we're not
doing that again, buddy.

I'll clean it up after the zoo.

No, you need to clean it up now.

No!

Okay, yes.

You have to clean your room now,

or we can't go to the zoo.

All right?

Listen, Jabbar, you have to
clean your room right now,

or we're not going to the zoo.

- I'm not gonna do it!
- Hey, what... Don't.

Then we're not going to the zoo.

- That's not fair!
- Yes, it is fair.

What's not fair is me letting
you just go through life

thinking that someone's
gonna do everything

you need doing, okay?

That would make me a crappy dad.

Fine, I'll clean it.

Okay, I'm cleaning.

No, buddy, it's too late.

It's too late.

Please, daddy,
please! I really want to go.

No, I was very clear, okay?

Please, look, I'm cleaning.

See?

No, buddy, I said now
we're not going, okay?

You're a meanie!

Hey, stop throwing your stuff.

I hate you! You're so mean!
Making it worse!

I hate you!

You're the meanest
dad in the world!

You're a meanie!

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

So what happened?

What'd they think about me?
Did I pass?

They thought you
were really impressive.

Impressive?

I mean, that's it?

Okay, all right, great,

'cause I liked them too.

You have a really awesome family.

Lunch is in an hour.

Do you want to go give Donna
a hand in the kitchen?

Yeah.

Okay.
